Board members received budget reports for department expenditures
for t~e month of April and year-to-date as well as financial report on
operation of Glen Oaks Golf Course for the same period of time.
Mr. Moore reported the department budget was operating as planned
and explained the following items of expenses for Glen Oaks during the
last month: one extra pay period occurred during the month, Workman's
compensation for the entire year was recorded in April, a bridge was
replaced and new benches installed, a cash register was purchased, data
processing services for the entire year were billed in April, three
months of building maintenance repairs were billed in this month and
inventory for pro Shop purchases from January through March were recorded
.in April. With these expenses totaling $18,353..51 weighed against income

'receipts ex~eed expenditures of the Fiscal Year in the amount of $6,810.09.
Mr. Moore reported on the following capital improvements:
a) At MCMullen park the newly installed lights for two courts
have failed to meet specifications and the contractor has
been advised lighting is unacceptable. 'However, he has made
every effort to bring lighting up to the 25 foot candle
required in specifications but has been unable to do so.
~~e entire matter has been referred to our city Attorney
indicating we have not accepted the lighting and recommend
re-bidding of the project.
b) At Norton Park a favorable bid has been received on the
construction of two tennis courts, multi-purpose court
and parking for fifty cars.
